HiKoo CoBaSi

Finally, a wool-free sock yarn! Knitters and the lucky people they knit for have long clamored for a wool-free sock yarn, something that wouldn’t irritate or overheat. Meet HiKoo CoBaSi - a cotton, bamboo and silk blend that also has a generous amount of elastic nylon. It comes in a wide range of colors, making it a perfect candidate for warm weather color work. Soft and machine washable, this will also be a go-to for hardy baby garments. Made in Taiwan

I'd love to try socks with this yarn, but I seem to keep knitting scarves! I also want to try this for a shawl. The hand-dyed skeins match up with the solid skeins beautifully. This is rapidly becoming my favorite non-hat yarn (but then, I need some cute summer hats, so who knows?)

I'm crocheting some socks for warm weather and am impressed with how nicely this is working up. It's much more elastic that cotton and there's a nice give to the sock material. It's soft, yet has good stitch definition.

Can't write enough good things about this yarn. It's easy to care for, wash and wear, and is a godsend for those of us who live in warm weather year-round. It displays intricate stitching beautifully, and skinny yarns are more flattering on the body. The bamboo absorbs moisture, the silk gives it a sweet feel--and if you want a quicker knit, just hold it doubled!
